Pentagon carrying out study on Iran: ex-defense minister

TEHRAN, May 17 (MNA) – Pentagon is carrying out a serious study on Iran, said Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, the former defense minister and the current director of a center for strategic-defense studies.

“Pentagon is working on challenges facing the Islamic Republic of Iran and this shows the importance of Iran to the Americans,” Shamkhani stated.

Speaking during a conference on Monday, he said, “When Pentagon conducts research and studies on the economic situation, internet and social networks in Iran, (it) indicates that the issue of the Islamic Republic of Iran is on the special agenda of the U.S. authorities.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said serious measures should be taken to help counter threats, saying that police, as a par of the country’s Armed Forces, are also responsible for dealing with security issues.
